You are not the first person to suggest this. However, I've actually
been avoiding caffeine the last month, as I got into a horrible
stress/insomnia/coffee cycle that was driving me mad (somewhat
literally). Unfortunately, I have no choice today, I have to be on
until at least 9 p.m. Therefore, the caffeine was necessary.

Oh damn. I'm sorry. I don't know the details -- I don't do much on FB. (I'm not sure if you've discussed it there.)

Okay, no more caffeine for you! Would you like to join me in the caffeine-free club? I went off of it in November 1984 and haven't looked back. I'm hyper enough as it is; Ian has never seen me on caffeine and fears what might happen!

If you are ingesting caffeine to cure insomnia, you're doing it wrong.
